Your clarification is appreciated. Thank you

Noted and thank you. No personal reason, I do wonder if that point will ever be reached and what that will take to get there but I pray it never does

But it is not "Just one person" is it. It is the President (and sons) of a Country Smacks of 3rd world despotism. Pretty shabby

"But then again with the UK & Oman being the gauge you are using, it's no wonder you have such a low opinion of rights......." Au contraire but I agree with you on the UK. They have completely abrogated any concept of rights. If we had a robust mechanism to defend them such as the 2 a maybe...

Seems I have kicked over a hornets nest. Maybe I need an explanation of why the 2a is there?

No. I didn't say that at all but appreciate your feedback However you look at it it is a clear abuse of position . Do you think that is acceptable?

2nd Amendment is pointless We learn today that the Attorney General has ruled that not only Trump but also his sons will never again have to have their tax returns audited by the IRS for past, present and future tax returns (and you thought the "autopen" was wrong !) Which means they can...

Add" struggle to put underpants on without falling over" and I agree

If Roe count I sometimes use my 1926 Merkel 8mm

They are quite appropriate in an old drilling. Not so sure they wouldn't add an un~needed "faff" factor to a DG rifle when a quick reload is needed ? I am sure there are faster/better methods for that.

I thought he was going to follow me out but that is as far as he got before flopping down! The pair of us soon went back inside.

When the A/C is on, you want to go out but it is too hot.

The .243 of filleting blades

This as as much as it flexes (under a fair bit of pressure)

Sandvik 14C28N I beleive

Flexible but not as flexible as , say, a Rapala filleting blade

I have what most here would consider a small bore DR. I always fire the front trigger first. I have been shooting sxs double trigger shotguns for over 50 years so moving from front trigger to back trigger it is natural for me. Although with a shotgun if I want the choked barrel first I...

Recently been using this Civivi for fish . Very pleased with it . But the trusty Mora Companion Stainless does fine for fish too;

Muscat 40c

Slight problem with that. My dogs would go "missing" !

Jeez and there's me getting stressed about squirrels and pigeons in my yard! (At least I can shoot them)

Opinel No. 8 Used it daily for over 20 years. Food prep, gutting game and countless other tasks. Got given a new one by my Son last Christmas. Either the blade shape has changed or my old one has had a lot of sharpening!

No . I have just identified a moron . You know nothing about me. You have said a lot about you but are mostly likely unaware of same. But feel free to have the last word.

Thank you. You are most welcome PerH. Glad you enjoyed.

Given this is, in the main a hunting forum, I reiterate my first response to you. "Unnecessary" in this thread. There is a section on this forum for politics and I suggest if you have anything valid to say, which I very much doubt, then that is the place. I am happy to enter any debate with...

So it's "I'm all right jack" eh? As per previous, you really would do well to think before you post dear fellow.

Pity you felt it necessary to make a political point here. Given current events I would have thought coming from where you do you would be better keeping your trap shut.

Hi Ontario Hunter. Thanks for your message and concern. I am in Oman. For reasons I can't go into we are fine here in Muscat. I flew back here on 10th March and am here for another couple of weeks before I have a break, and then will head back here. All good apart from we are just in the...

The cover of the book is attached in post # 1. The Book was produced to celebrate the Jubilee and is 91 years old. The shoot is covered in just a few pages

Hi I think it was 1911 in Nepal (according to the caption) The fellow in the Howdah aiming the double rifle is King George V. I can't tell you anymore as I am currently in the Middle East and the book is in England.

My elderly Mother is in the process of clearing and sorting a lot of stuff out. When I visited her a week or so ago I came across this old book which had some interesting photos . I thought I should share them here.

Amen

I use whatever I have tidied up over the preceeding year. Damson, Apple, Oak (if we have a casualty or branch that needs removing) Had to prune some large birch trees due to their proximity to the house effecting the foundations - their water uptake was drying the clay on which the house stands...

I am enjoying the banter on this. Maybe I should do a post about the 6.5 x 58r Sauer and see what @aussiebob#"I have an issue with .243" has to say lol!

Just think, if the Indians had fed the founding fathers donkey instead of turkey, 'Mericans would today be eating a piece of Ass

No safe queens for me. Even in the pouring rain.

I would not have thought it possible had I not done it today. I must be behind the times as I had never heard of such a thing.

Fabulous. Well done .

I read it was in the central reservation ("median strip" for you 'muricans) So most unlikely for hunting. Of course it could just have been some sort of tree-house built by kids?

That handsdown wins the internet!

Mine does ;) Also I mostly live in a maritime climate. SS is vital.

Last one for a while. Not a hunting knife but I will post none the less. My Grandfather was a butcher (died 1948) This was one of his knives. Now cherished by me and in my posession. Still used for carving roasts. A great example of how a knife reduces through sharpening over decades of use...

Here is a real old stager. This was originally a Frost/Eriksson (later Mora) Scout knife with a wooden handle. I bought it new as a young lad in the 1970's and used it a tremendous amount for paunching rabbits. I was big Into ferreting as a young'un. For decades it was lounging around in a...

Nothing wrong with having more knives than you use @CBH. I have had this particular knife over 20 years. Like I said I use it daily, mostly for food prep and eating but it has done a lot of game - especially Rabbits but also birds as well. It has an Oak handle which was a special edition...

"Knife and fork' not "knife or fork" ;)

H here is a combo I use daily (esp in the Middle East where most local eateries dont usually provide cutlery) It also solves the issue of being able to use a knife and fork similtaneously

@Stompbox Dunno if you ever fixed the issue but if not start by seeking less "barrel time" for your projectiles. Either more/faster powder with your current bullets or lighter bullets. Short of expensive re-regulation, hand loading is usually the way forward for tuning/regulating double...

Nice set up. Which Puma is it? White Hunter?
